I excelled in English while I was at school.

I think it was the sense that Turn is a spy thriller, and that's a genre that really fascinates me, in general.

I never really sympathised with Peter Parker.

I never realised that the Edinburgh skyline was so interesting - it's gothic and very urban and there's a lot of church spires and old brownstone buildings.

I've got lots of weird illustrations of me from Japanese fans.

When you have a child, you are just immediately changed forever. You put yourself second. Your child comes first, and everything that you do is with them in mind.

The reason I do small, independent movies is because I want to keep my soul intact and maintain some kind of integrity within this industry.
